Or just write a vfp program to caculate the heat caused by overusers of electricity? Allen
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Hale Sent: 15 April 2008 20:26 > Well, let's see, let me take a stab at this one... I am running 14 Servers and PCs, hence adding heat into the environment within my home. I use an air conditioning system to exchange that heat from inside my home into the great outdoors. The electricity I consume to run the heat generating computers and network equipment, and the air conditioner, comes from largely hydro-electric power, but with the resistance of the turbine blades due to the electrical load I have placed on the electrical system I am causing the water at the hydro plant to heat up via "hydraulic heat of compression" (some hot tubs use that concept to heat their water instead of conventional electric or gas heaters). So because I am so obsesses with everything FoxPro, Suse Linux (for now), Mac OS X, and Ubuntu Linux, and use electricity in relatively copious amounts (compared to my neighbors), I am part of the global warming problem. That is likely causing the waters to rise as the ice sheets begin to melt off. So, it really is an [NF] subject at worst, and perhaps VFP related at best as I do run VFP on many of my machines. How was that, Stephen? Did I do good for you? heh-heh... No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
